Well after spending some time up at the bass lake range, Ive noticed the area has been neglected over some time. Most of the area is shells and casing, glass from people shooting bottles, some old records, metal pieces from various targets. I was approached last week by a gentleman who proposed the idea about having a range clean up. We have thrown some ideas around and some dates and other various things. I have wondered about the locals that shoot there, I don't want to step on someones toes, but I have no idea what to do about the locals that are up there shooting when we are planning on cleaning, Anyone have any ideas? We have decided to make it a clean up, which wont take much time, following have a few targets set up to shoot and Ill be bringing up a BBQ. WHATS BETTER THAN HAVING A CLEAN AREA TO SHOOT AND A BBQ?!?!?

I would like to get input on my ideas, and also a head count. It might be a bring your own meat to BBQ or if we have some people that wouldn't mind donating to the event. I will be bringing up a few 55 gallon drums to haul trash, some rakes, and a Costco size roll of trash bags.

Ok I'm in. What else do you guys need? I'm taking my handguns and may be my 30-06. Is the place big enough to shoot it? Also, anyone have room to drive me up there? A civic is not recommended for the dirt road right?

Wish I could make it, but my work week is right in the middle of the weekends. I frequent that spot, and I try to pick up some garbage to take with me when I leave. This is a great place to shoot, I'm glad that you guys are getting together to clean it up.

There are usually some ruts in the road, so I wouldn't recommend a car. The range is about 80 yards max.

Looking at the thread, it looks like only one person is bringing water. Anyone like pepsi? I can bring some if you guys want. Only 9 are on the list (once you add me) so I'm guessing a 24 pack would be enough?????
are some of you bringing friends and family? If yes, I'll bump it up to 48 cans.

If you can afford it, more "cold" soda is always better than less. I'm bringing at least one other person, and I believe others are also. I'll try to bring a cooler full of ice, with the water and other things. I suspect we will have piles of food, and not as much things to drink.

It is supposed to be a high of 69F there on the 28th. Makes for a wonderful day.

thanks for the offer

You can ride with me, or one of the others...No worries either way. If you want to ride with me, I'd prefer that we hook up in Fresno. Also, I'll likely be going early, leaving fresno around 11am. Send me a pm with your ph # if you'd like a ride.

My son (and I) have been wanting to shoot an AR and AK. By any chance will any of you let us shoot yours? I'll provide the ammo just let me know the if you have any preference of ammo. Thanks.

You're welcome to try out the AR & AK's I'm bringing.
.223/5.56(rifle), 5.45x39(rifle) & 7.62x39(rifle & pistol) You're welcome to use my ammo if you just want to kick in a couple bucks, buying the russian stuff off the shelf is ridiculously expensive, I just get it mail order or at gun shows.
